Units & farm buildingsAsbestos roofs on units, workshops and farm buildings
Large cement roofs are common on units, farm buildings and warehouses across the West Midlands. They need scaffold or access platforms, edge protection and a planned method for the work at height. We match you with a contractor who handles larger roofs.
How the job runs.
1. Survey and plan
The contractor looks at roof area, height, fragile roof risk and access.
2. Access and edge protection
Scaffold or access platforms are set up before roof work starts.
3. Strip in sections
Sheets and cladding are removed in a planned sequence with the area controlled.
4. Re-roof and sign off
New cladding fitted, waste documented, site handed back.

Good to know.
Can the unit stay open while the roof is done?
Sometimes, depending on the roof, access and what is underneath. The contractor will plan it with you.
Is licensed work needed on a big roof?
Asbestos cement roofs are generally non-licensed regardless of size, but the work at height and waste volumes need careful planning. The contractor will confirm.
